    Well, they are good for cheapo fittings and such but thats hardly the feelings in THIS group!

    As a nobody, I beg to differ with that ad, I (and perhaps other nobodies here would agree) am very happy with monkey coffins and even happier with gorilla size coffins. The bigger the coffin the better
    What I could really go for is one of those mojo monkey claws that grants wishes, waaayy cool!

    That original quote wasn't from PE the company, it's from one of those "Reader's Designs" segments. The individual designing that issue's particular speaker wrote that paragraph.

    Nice coffins, Krunchy, did you get to hear them? Those are the beasties we used to do the amp comparison between a Sansui B5000 and a Bryston 4B. They were actually co-designed by our friend Jack, check out his artwork here (some not-quite-safe-for-work stuff under "Nudes" and "Personal Work" pictures, you've been warned):

    That Monkey Coffin speaker sounded dead to me.

    A little off topic here but that movie "Dead Man" w/Johnny Depp was one of my favorites.

    As to coffins I like them big ole' gorrilla ones. Bigger the better.

    Hell, I don’t want a “monkey coffin” in my living room either.
    That’s way I upgraded to the larger “Gorilla Coffins”.
    And so, they have a Zero Wife Acceptance Factor.
    Well, I just don't care…

    Well, kinda...

    Even his solution is "old school" though. Who wants squirrel coffins in their living space? All that stuff should be mounted in walls out of plain sight.

    So, monkeys have coffins I guess. Sounds like clever slang for showing oneself aesthetically correct and up in the current blog-speak. And I should be faulted for finding myself unaware in both regards. Trouble with this notion is that I have yet to find bird coffins able to sound anything but toy-like in sound. So if its monkey coffin or monkey sound...
